Freddie and Stuart, who have lived together in a small central London flat for
nearly 50 years. Constantly picking each other apart and holding onto petty

other’s age, appearance and flaws. However, underneath their vicious, co-
dependent fighting, they have a deep love for one another.

Stag Do
Finding themselves both single, Violet and Ash consider dating new people. Violet
has already met someone on the internet, while Ash’s ex, Chloe, returns. Freddie,
meanwhile, feels under pressure from Stuart to land a major new acting role.

Every antique is a survivor, but considering some have made it through
exceptionally dangerous circumstances, it is amazing they survived at all. The
Roadshow highlights amazing tales of rescues, near misses, and beating the odds
with treasures that have endured wars, natural disasters, fires and more. A
French Blue John urn that remains largely intact despite multiple gunshots is
appraised for $3,000 to $5,000. Other highlights include a New Orleans Chess
Table that held strong through Hurricane Katrina and hotel stationery – bearing

SCIENCE & NATURE

FIRST PEOPLES

Americas

Sun., Sept. 13, 10:00 pm

Encore

See how the mixing of prehistoric human genes led the way for our species to
survive and thrive around the globe. Archaeology, genetics and anthropology
cast new light on 200,000 years of history, detailing how early humans became
dominant.

Americas
As early humans spread out across the world, their toughest challenge was
colonizing the Americas because a huge ice sheet blocked access. It has long
been thought that the first Americans were Clovis people, who arrived 13,000
years ago. But an underwater discovery in Mexico suggests people arrived
earlier – coming by boat, not on foot. How closely related were these early
Americans to today’s Native Americans? It’s an emotive issue, involving one of
the most controversial fossils in the world, Kennewick Man.NATUREThe Sagebrush Sea

Wed., Sept. 16, 8:00 pm

Encore

One of the most overlooked ecosystems on the continent consists of a massive sea
of sagebrush that stretches across 11 states in the American West. This spartan
yet spectacular landscape supports more than 170 species of hardscrabble birds
and mammals. Among those that have adapted to survive here are birds found
nowhere else: greater sage-grouse that lead remarkable lives mostly hidden in
the sage. But once each year, males emerge for days on end to strut and display
as prospective mates for discriminating females, which mate with only one or
two of them. Females must then raise their chicks on their own, with little
food, water or shelter to sustain them, while plenty of predators wait for
their smallest mistake. Today, they must also contend with wells and pipelines
tapping the resources buried deep below. The sagebrush and the grouse carry on,
but they’re losing ground.

NOVA

Dawn of Humanity

Wed., Sept. 16, 9:00 pm

New

NOVA and National Geographic present exclusive access to a unique discovery of
ancient remains. Located in an almost inaccessible chamber deep in a South
African cave, the site required recruiting a special team of experts slender
enough to wriggle down a vertical, pitch-dark, eight inch-wide passage. Most
fossil discoveries of human relatives consist of just a handful of bones. But
down in this hidden chamber, the team uncovered an unprecedented trove – so
far, over 1,500 bones – with the potential to rewrite the story of our origins.
They may help fill in a crucial gap in the fossil record and tell us how Homo,
the first member of the human family, emerged from ape-like ancestors like the
famous Lucy. But how did hundreds of bones end up in the remote chamber? The
experts are considering every mind-boggling possibility. Join NOVA on the
treacherous descent into this cave of spectacular and enigmatic finds, and
discover their startling implications for the saga of what made us human.
